The Look: A long, sleek, silver sword. Typical to most others. It sets itself apart in function, not style. The handle is gilded gold, rough, ancient, and foreboding. The blade, a cool 4 feet , with a half foot handle and guard, is considered rather large, though not as awkwardly large as a cleaver sword. The sword is lightweight and durable, but dulls quickly, so that usually after every swordfight, the shinobi must sharpen his blade.
The Abilities: Shiny and gifted, the sword is sharp and can cut through most objects with ease, though it struggles against iron, stone and other tough metals. It can not cut through anything, but it has yet to find a substance it can't at least partially stab through.

The sword was said to be cursed by a pregnant stone kunoichi, who with her last dying breath delivered her baby, and cursed the sword that slain her husband. She wished upon the sword all the extra weight she had recieved by not having a husband. She wished upon it all the pain she ahd felt. She wished upon it... and then she died.

The sword, indestructible but dulled easy, has an amazing ability to manipulate the earth. With each swing of his sword, a small slab of clay-like stone emerges from the blade and wraps itself around the enemies blade. The clay can be cut through by cut-through-anything objects, but due to their direct postion of the blade, if one was to try and use it again another sword to place the pressure on the clay, he would most likely cut through the sword and clay.

The clay slabs are roughly 1/4 inch long, and with each sucessful sword on sword attack, another 1/4 inch strip bleeds from the blade at the spot it hit, and attaches.

The clay has two adverse effects, one is that it dulls the blades by covering it with... dull clay. The other is that the clay weight about a pound on each strip, meaning after 5 hits, the weight of the sword would increase by 5 pounds. This is by no means a lot, but can serve as quite the hindrance is a sword battle.

In the event there is no sword (kunai, fuuma shuriken, puppet, katar, weapons etc.) the clay merely turns into a small clay pebble that launches itself at the enemy after each swing. the pebbles do not do any damage and cause pain minor to minimal.

Kagenmi

Brought to you by Merdle Kusa Productions:
A Mizu Creation,

Maseika Kagenmi, a bloodline user, also utilizes a puppet.

Head:

Karasu (Crow)[Modified] Storage Slots: 3 Weight: 3 Material: Wood and Plastic Size: Small Description: A humanoid head with two eyes. Mouth can open. The plastic covers the head, giving it an oddly real looking flesh covering. The plastic gives it no benefit and is purely aesthetic. It has a light brown wig with blonde specks. It looks like it is constantly sad, though it is merely inanimate. the mouth holds a quite a few syringes, most filled with Everclear, the highly potent alchoholic drink. If injected into bloodstream, things gets drunk... fast. No one knows Kagenmi hides booze in his puppet, he's too young to own it anyway. And no, he doesn't drink it.

Interestingly enough, ther syringes are split into two catergories, a few are held behind the eyes (sharp away, of course, don't want the little one getting himself stabbed) while a few are pointied directly forward in the lower mandible. They shoot forward, allowing gravity to launch the trigger down, releasing the alcohol on contact. Of course, this amounts to a lot of wasted booze and a few drunk trees. Two are ever mounted on the puppets mouth sides (though when it opens it looks more like fangs than anything else). They stay there and act as puppet teeth.

A small refill or two of booze is placed in a sack where the puppets brain would be. the syringes held to be used as melee weapons are angled away, however.Inventory: Syringes [2], Booze (Everclear] [1]

Chassis:

Karasu (Crow) Storage Slots: 4 Weight: 3 Material: Wood and Plastic. Size: Small Description: Sleeker, single-section torso. Supports one set of arms. The plastic covers the body, giving it an oddly real looking flesh covering. The plastic gives it no benefit and is purely aesthetic. It is covered in grass green uniform, long sleeved. The Maseika clan symbol is sewn on the front in red thread. Each thread is actually razor wire, artfully crafted throughout the entire chassis. Senbon are hidden in the chest area.

The seems seems to fly open, the thread placed all around whipping out from every few inches (nothing ridiculous) of the chassis. It is directed by pure momentum and puppet skills. The senbon shoot out of pores on the chest and back. 8 or so senbon are placed on the stomach and abs never shoot out, serving as skewers if anything unlucky gets too close.Inventory: Razor Wire [2], Senbon [2]

Ari (Ant) [Modified] Storage Slots: 2 Weight: 1 Material: Wood and plastic. Size: Small Description: A spindly model with little room for weapons, and is rather weak, but very light. The plastic covers the arms, giving it an oddly real looking flesh covering. The plastic gives it no benefit and is purely aesthetic. It is also covered in long black gloves which can open to reveal the weapons... lots of exploding tags.

The arms however, don't just explode. That would be silly. The tags rather can fall out, get curled up and thrown, or placed. Sometimes, the puppet is known to shoot and senbon through the exploding tags edge as to launch it without detonating it early.Inventory: Exploding Tags [4] (Mounted)

Legs:

Karasu (Crow) [Modified] Storage Slots: 4 Weight: 2 Material: Wood and plastic. Size: Small Description: The heaviest and roomiest of the wood-based line of puppet legs. The plastic covers the legs, giving it an oddly real looking flesh covering. The plastic gives it no benefit and is purely aesthetic. The legs have traditional uniform pants and tabi. The pants also split to reveal the hidden glass vial of lingering poison, which expells the poison gaseously.

To some, it looks as though the puppets knees open and that's where it comes from. Most just see a cloud of purple appear, as though the puppet is dancing through it.Inventory: Lingering Poison [4]

Haide

Addition

-A small, spherical implant located inside the eye, directly beneath the lens connects to the brain through intricate nerve endings. The implant is capable of capturing refracted light from centimeter distances away from the item in focus, effectively giving it superior depth perception compared to two standard human eyes. The implant also creates a small readout of light blue numbers, telling the distances depth, length, width, and an estimation of weight. This does not improve vision except for superior depth perception. That's it, no other special tricks.

--3 small circles of synthetic plastic are applied to the fingertips of the right hand's thumb, index, and middle finger. When activated, multiple chakra tendrils fan out like lasers, instantly hitting walls, people, the ground, and everywhere in between. The lasers provide no offensive capabilities, they don't blind, hurt, warm, or really feel like anything, but they can measure the speed an object is moving (If Haide chooses not to do the math himself, which is rare). The lines also easily measure angles of items in relation to the ground, allowing Haide to utilize his mathematical strategies with the utmost of ease.

Mizumaru

Rhystiseerle omorigengan(Rhino's Snare)

Weapon Cost:[ 5 ]Weapon Description:
There are very few plants that express anything akin to intelligence, but in the rainforest of Grass Village, things take a turn for the more shocking. Rhino's Snare, a rapidly proliferating form of short-lived mycelium grows and dies at equal rates, spreading itself out to areas where it flourishes, the only aim: survival.

The interesting thing to note about Rhino's snare is its human reaction. A blood-borne pathogen, introduced through the blood (cuts, scratches, membranes), the mycelium interacts with the very life force of an animal. When encountered, the effects immediately target the central nervous system, and in humans, adversely affect the chakra system.

But how? Mizumaru is glad you asked. In his research, he found that when chakra is brought forth, the mycelium attacks, causing, for all intensive purposes, varying degrees of pain. While nothing drastically debilitating, the pain is heavily proportioned to the amount of chakra being called forward. When an extensive amount of energy is being used, the pain is quite severe, but less energy means less pain.

Weapon Cost:[ 8 ]Weapon Description:
The poppy has long since been used as a source of opiates, but when the discovery of the local strain of the generic plant brought a new line of poisonous defense for the Hensou. Botanist Mizumaru broke down the structure of the plants, and created the perfect poison, designed to disable, but not destroy.

The poison, upon inhalation or simple contact with a wound (subcutaneous) immediately lowers the diastolic heartrate. This at first seems to be a simple opiate reaction, what is truly mesmerizing is that the target will suffer orthostatic hypotension. The blood slows, and that brings about lightheadedness.

Even better is that the dizziness brings a severe short supply of blood to the head, and while the brain is fully surviving and operating, the eyes are less fortunate. Blurred or dimmed vision is exceptionally common while under the first effects of the poison, often so severe that temporary blindness is a result until the eyes resume their standard blood pressure.

The poison is fairly short, and the effects are quickly metabolized. The poison lasts 2 posts.

Atropa belladonna(Deadly nightshade)

Weapon Cost:[ 6 ]Weapon Description:
From the family, Solanaceae comes this perennial herbaceous plant. Commonly known as Deadly Nightshade, Belladonna is a highly potent, extremely toxic plant. With only a small manipulation of the staggeringly weaker strain of toxin found in the berries, Mizumaru has engineered yet another poison which can be introduced to the body through simple cutaneous contact.

It drips through the pores and then the symptoms appear after a brief period (one post). The symptoms of the poisoning via belladonna includes dilated pupils which brings sensitivity to light. Even more important, this strain of nightshade's poison causes temporary loss of balance and staggering. The headache is minimal, though constant, fading long after the actual poison is metabolized. Hallucinations, delirium, and convulsions are possible, though far more frequent are simple bouts of confusion, where the neurons get mixed up and messages can become confused.

The poison lasts 2 posts, and the headache lasts 2 additional posts. If the poison in reintroduced, the poison only lasts one post.

Pseudoalteromonas tetraodonis(Pufferfish Tetadotoxin)

Weapon Cost:[ 4 ]Weapon Description:
The name may be complicated, but it's honestly just a toxin. Found in the 'false unit' bacteria Pseudomonadaceae pseudomonas, the poison takes a brief while to accumulate. After inhalation or entrance through soft tissue membranes (ear, mouth, nose, eyes, anus, etc.) the neurotoxin immediately begins to malfunction in the sodium channels of nerve cell membranes. Found most commonly in Pufferfish and porcupinefish, it specifically targets site 1 of the fast voltage-gated sodium channel.

Symptoms include paralysis of the diaphragm, meaning breathing becomes a laborious task. Wheezing, coughing, and gasping on par with serious asthma attacks lasts for two posts. While the target can not lose consciousness in such a short time, the restricted air flow often encourages many a shinobi to limit their movement, though this is purely scientific study, and willpower often overrides the standard with deviations.

Mercurilism hydrargyria(Minimata disease)

Weapon Cost:[ 9 ]Weapon Description:
It's mercury poisoning. This strain has been chemically altered by Mizumaru, but instead of lasting, the body metabolizes it. A very short lived poison, the body rids the poison through simple metabolism than actually processing it and countering through antibodies. Through inhalation, this means multiple exposures are just as effective and prolong the rather serious symptoms.

Paralysis. Not complete paralysis, but the muscles are obstructed, to the point where pain interferes with standard human operation. Immediate handseals are out of the question, which means it takes a post to perform. If a larger jutsu, one requiring extensive amounts of handseals, is attempted, the handseals are usually the only thing attempted (because of the willpower needed to override the muscle camping), other than small leaps out of the way of death and what not. Taijutsu is obstructed, making performing at standard efficiency incredibly unrealistic..

This is a serious poison, and symptoms are not felt until the following post, but it only lasts a single post. Just one. Re-administration of the poison reintroduces the effects.

Known as 'pre-lukemia,' this unfortunately named biological syndrome is not nearly as serious as it sounds. Rather than causing death, this strain of poison found in naturally occurring resources responds in the human body by simulating severely low levels of blood platelets.

Symptoms are similar to belladonna in that migraines occur, but the severity in increased through this poison, which leads to slight double vision. On top of that, the poison causes minor-to-moderate internal bleeding from the stomach and painful but minor damage to the stomach and liver. The damage can be healed by a medical ninja, but only outside of combat, as healing would take time and concentration, though if your shinobi healer is just super awesome, well, then, heal away in battle to your heart's content.

Item Name: Reiran's HandItem Cost: 19Item Desciption: His left hand was crushed due to disobediance. The great Tsubame of the Roots added the hand, crafted by Taiku's money and love for tinkering, with permission from the Sovereign Tai-i, gracious ruler and leader of Konoha. The hand is realistic, almost impossible to discern from any other hand, though it is made of a synthetic metalloid compound about as strong as unimportant metals. The hand doesn't look like anything but what it is and functions just a hand normally would. This, however, is misleading, as the hand has a single purpose: It becomes a Bladed Tessen.

Yes. The important thing to note about the fan is that Reiran utilizes one other large Tessen. This allows him more manueravibility, as well as a second way of attacking. The fan may phase to and from a fan as often as he likes, but it may not be used more than 4 posts total. And in case your wondering, no mid-punch shenanigans are EVER allowed. The fan must phase before the attack is actually commenced.

No other special abilities are present. Just a simple hand that shapeshifts into a large, bladed fan.

And, and the fist can shoot a volley of a few dozen senbon, too. The volley has a 3 post cooldown and must be properly reloaded.

Biography: Tragically, Toshi was just a man caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Praised for being relatively strong for a simple engineer, Toshi was working in Hima on a standard machine repair operation. Straight from Sakoshi, the machine was said to be unbreakable, of course, Toshi didn't quite believe that. Caught in the building once the Hima fires began, a single wire curled around Toshi's neck, who fell off the scaffolding and, ironically, hung to death in a fire filled room. His body was found by Sarasu, he had been dragged by someone into the room with Kayami and Ioae.

It didn't help that she was knocked unconscious by the rushing waves. Her body was found by Sarasu and his team on their way back. Sarasu quickly sealed her body and spirited her away, knowing she would be better used by him than those creepy death doctors.
